The photographs and the videos, a symbol of luxury and fortune, offer a different vision of Cuba and a… more  A Comprehensive Exhibition of Cuban PhtographyThis exhibition, which consists of over 100 images by 50 photographers, is an effort to illustrate and exam the evolution of photography in Cuba from 1840 to the present.

Dislecsia is a large collage of images made by Miguel Rio Branco since his beginning in photography, when he was still mostly involved in painting. The idea of Dislecsia came from the fact that in poetry the way we construct is not necessarily the same as in usual common daylife. For Miguel Rio Branco it is poetic reality that counts.
